andy and the ghosts of queercore past
I'm going through photos at the moment, chucking a lot away, and I found this old photo among a pile of Holga shots. It's from a gig some time, upstairs in a pub, I think (I can't remember the name). Maybe you were there, from the photos, a lot of people were. |

Yesterday was irksome, from the work point of view, because I spent most of the day doing it and didn't stop, didn't really have time to think about Andrew or about how I feel about being three years away from him.
At least I spent 45 mins in the morning preparing a song for recording, a good way of remembering him, of projecting his presence into the present and future. If it hadn't been for him and his persistence with his music i probably wouldn't have been doing it.
Many thanks and love to everyone who's posted here. It means a lot me, to his family, to everyone.

I'm glad Linus songs don't make me blub any more; they're too good not to listen to.
(Andy's 4-track demo of Camden Road Station, though - that's a kicker and still gets me sometimes.)

It's three years since ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) andypop died, more or less. To me, the time that he actually died is a bit fuzzy because, as far as I know, he wasn't properly conscious after the accident, and he hung on for a few days afterwards. The anniversary of that awful time isn't something I generally keep in my head and prepare for so much, maybe because of the fuzzyness surrounding it for me, maybe because I wasn't touched so directly by the initial trauma as others were. It was so shocking. At the time I couldn't accept that he could die and I still find it hard to believe, even now.
Andy not being here is such a strange thing to think about because in many ways he's very present. I listen to his music all the time, and put it on mix CDs for people. I dip into Helen and Geoff's monumental Remembering Andy project from time to time. When I'm stuck with something I still wonder what Andy would do. He's here and he's not here.
It would be so much better if we could talk to him right here and now, and he could answer back straight to us. It would have been lovely to see him grow and develop. We can't have these things. Nothing can make up for that. But we're not left with nothing, I know that his memory keeps going, keeps me going, and I think about his art and music, his capacity for friendship and creativity, and that all remains too, even though he's gone. It's pretty amazing, pretty wonderful, in spite of the loss.

Tonight I shall have some white wine and think of comics, guitar music, small T shirts, a bus ride, a quiz in a sushi bar, a gig at the Hope and Anchor, and a nice guy I knew.
Cheers, Andy. Here's to you.

9:02 am - andy's records
|
guiripoet
|
Hi mzdt, if by chance you're reading this, we've been trying to contact you. It's about what remains of Andy's records, which have been temporarily housed at Charlotte's place. Now it's urgent for them to move them out, so we've been looking for a place to store them (again temporarily). I remember we talked about this before and you said you might be able to take them, though i understand that later you saw the 25 boxes in question and realised you wouldn't have room!!!
Anyway, if you do read this, maybe you could mail Helen & Geoff about it.
And if anyone else can help, we'd be more than happy to hear from you!!

11:04 am - I'm Not There, with Andy
|
charlottecooper
|
We went to the Rio last week to see I'm Not There. I know others have raved about it but it wasn't for me, I found it over-long, pretentious, and I thought it had too much self-conscious and indulgent actor-ish acting. I wasn't so into the cover versions, but I love the title song and it was good to hear Bob's music. Oh well. But look, what was great was that we sat in and around the Andy seat, D19. This is the seat that some of us chipped together to name in his memory. It felt as though we'd gone to the pictures with him, it was lovely.

3:16 am - Contacting Andy's Friends
|
andysdad

I need some help from any of you guys who are willing and able: I'm trying to get the news about the Andy book to lots of people who contacted us after his accident, wrote in the Memorial book or whatever but whom I don't know. most of them are just LJ names -
myfirstkitchen, supercasio, razorcheekbones, big trend, angstriddenmole, stellanova, yiskah, brandnewgun, outcognito, talentshow, my-red-dream. I know one or two of their real names but not how to get in touch, so if you are one of them, or know who they are, please tell me, or tell them and ask them to contact me either on LJ or at rgeoffelen@aol.com or helen.roberts@ club-internet.fr.
And does anyone know Helen Wickham, Emma Hedditch (or is it Hilditch?), or Ian Shaw? Same request applies.
I hope someone or someones can help.
Thanks!
Geoff
